Overview
Smallest arm of the AUBO i-series from Beijing-based AUBO (遨博): 3 kg payload, 625 mm working radius, +-0.02 mm repeatability on AUBO's own pages and a 16 kg arm. AUBO says it needs no safety fence and can work close to people; distributor listings give 6 axes, IP54, 0-50 C and mounting on floor, wall or ceiling. It runs from a 100-240 V AUBO-CB-M control cabinet with a teach pendant and is aimed at light loading and unloading, assembly and screwdriving in 3C electronics and similar work.
Will the AUBO i3 do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
Four cobots on the same palletizing task, simulated before purchase.
We build your station in a simulator with the AUBO i3 and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.

Key facts
- Official AUBO i-series page (aubo-cobot.com, fetched 2026-10-17): AUBO-i3 payload 3 kg, weight 16 kg, repeatability +-0.02 mm, reach 625 mm; the i3 detail page header repeats these four figures.
- The i3 detail page's full parameter table is a template that still shows i5 values (886.5 mm, 24 kg, 5 kg), so only the four headline figures are taken from AUBO; the rest comes from distributor listings (Unchained Robotics, ASBIS) fetched the same day.
- Disagreements: repeatability is +-0.02 mm on AUBO's pages, +-0.05 mm in the ASBIS and Unchained spec tables (Unchained's overview says +-0.02 mm), and 0.03 mm on qviro; AUBO's +-0.02 mm is used. Weight is 16 kg on AUBO and the distributors; qviro gives 15.5 kg.
- From ASBIS: 6 axes, linear speed up to 1.9 m/s (Unchained agrees), joint speed 180 deg/s, joints +-175 deg, base diameter 140 mm, floor/wall/ceiling mounting, IP54 arm, DC 48 V supply, average 150 W and peak 600 W, 0-50 C, 25-90% humidity, control box 380 x 350 x 265 mm 15 kg IP43.
- ASBIS lists SDK (C/C++/C#/Lua/Python) and ROS in the programming interfaces but 'NO ROS' in the arm table, so ROS support is false (unconfirmed).
- Certifications are from AUBO's i-series page and apply to the series: EN ISO 13849-1:2015 (PL d, CAT 3), CE, UL, KCs, SEMI S2. aubo-robotics.com had an expired TLS certificate and a placeholder page when fetched, so it was not used.
- No launch date found, so year_announced is empty.
- IP54, 0-50 C, 1.9 m/s and the I/O counts come from resellers (ASBIS, Unchained), not from AUBO, whose i3 page gives only 3 kg / 16 kg / +-0.02 mm / 625 mm. Repeatability is disputed: 0.02 mm official vs 0.05 mm in reseller tables.
